Recap - 'The Event': 'Inostranka'

As the siege on Inostranka continues, Thomas tells Greer to order a code 8 lockdown. While the facility's military personnel is rounded up, Thomas learns that Blake Sterling is at Inostranka and is determined to capture him. Corporal Bell, the soldier who is keeping watch while Sterling interrogates Mya, realises that the facility is under attack. A team of Thomas's men arrive for Sterling, but he and Bell are able to fight them off. However, Sterling sustains a gunshot wound in the attack, while Mya escapes. Elsewhere, Thomas and his men free the detainees from the cells.

Back at the White House, Senator Lewis confronts President Martinez, now fully aware of the true nature of the Inostranka facility. However, Martinez insists that the matter is of national security and orders Lewis to leave. Meanwhile, Sean, Leila, Sam and Michael take refuge in a small house. Sophia arrives and explains to Sean that while she has peaceful intentions, Thomas intends to launch a full-scale assault on the Earth. Leila also questions Michael about his alien nature, and he confirms that she is also not fully human. He offers her more answers, but explains that they must depart immediately and leave Sean behind.

Back at Inostranka, Thomas addresses the detainees and reveals that he has broken away from Sophia. Bell and Sterling break into the command room in an attempt to notify the outside world about the attack, but the phone lines are all dead. Most of the detainees leave with Thomas, though a few remain to show their loyalty to Sophia. While Mya does not trust Thomas, she decides to go with him and discover his true intentions. However, Sterling and Bell are able to activate a total lockdown from the command room, sealing everyone inside the facility. On the run, Sterling and Bell stumble across the dead bodies of the detainees who had remained loyal to Sophia, but are captured soon after.

Senator Lewis appears on MSNBC talk show Hardball with Chris Matthews and appears to be about to reveal the existence of Inostranka live on-air, much to the President's horror. Speaking to Martinez on the phone, Lewis suggests that she will keep quiet if the President reveals who the prisoners inside Inostranka are. Martinez is forced to bow to her demands, and Lewis does not expose the conspiracy. Back at their hide-out, Leila informs Sean of her father's ultimatum. She is desperate to learn more about her alien origins, but is reluctant to leave her boyfriend. When she wakes the next morning, Leila discovers that Sean has made the decision for her and has already departed.

Back at Inostranka, Thomas has his men torture Sterling in an attempt to get the new code for the doors. Mya watches in secret, and overhears Sterling mention that Thomas had those who were loyal to Sophia killed. Sterling refuses to give up any information and Thomas prepares to shoot him dead, but Bell breaks and reveals the code. Now free, Thomas and the detainees escape Inostranka and board an aircraft carrier, taking Sterling with them. On board the craft, Mya frees Sterling, insisting that not all of her people want what Thomas is planning. Sterling escapes, but is shot in the leg by Thomas. As Mya runs to save him, Thomas also shoots her in the chest. The aircraft is forced to depart as the next shift of military personnel heads towards inostranka, and an injured but free Blake holds Mya in his arms as she dies.

As the episode concludes, Dempsey learns from his assistant that Sean and Leila have freed the test subjects. The villain examines a board in his office and identifies Sean as one of the pieces on its surface, telling his assistant that he knows he will cross paths with Sean again, and soon.
